Applicability, Idealization, and Mathematization
In this thesis I provide a study of the applicability of mathematics. My starting point is the account of applicability offered in Hartry Field’s book Science without numbers and arising from the nominalistic project carried out therein. By examining the limitations and shortcomings of Field’s …

Reinforced concrete : applicability of smart materials
With aging infrastructure, not only in the United States, but worldwide, we look toward designing structures which can withstand the test of time. Creating structures that can adapt to changes in the environment and provide better performance is at the forefront of current research. Reinforced …

Applicability of Healthy Communities in Virginia
Healthy Cities/Communities (HC) is an experiment that addresses health from a non-medical perspective. It focuses on health as a phenomenon that is not amenable to conventional scientific investigation or discussion. HC emphasizes values of community, aestheticism, relativism and private behavior. …

Cellular manufacturing: applicability and system design
… that have not been adequately addressed: applicability, structural design, and operational design. Applicability, in this study, is concerned with discerning the circumstances in which cellular manufacturing is the system of choice. The methodology employed is simulation and two …

A compositional framework for determining pattern applicability.
The notion of ‘pattern’ originates in the work of Christopher Alexander and, in recent years, patterns have become a popular part of software development. A pattern is defined as a ‘three-part rule’: a relationship between a given context, a recurring system of forces peculiar to that context, and …

Applicability of Organization Development in Korean Companies
The purpose of this paper is to assess whether OD can be applied in Korean companies. Organization development (OD) was not traditionally implemented in Korea, but as the Korean economy and society changed, many Korean companies changed the traditional way of managing their organizations. Korean …

The Applicability of Hypermedia Technology to Database Design
This work discusses an investigation into the applicability of hypermedia technology, in particular problem-resolution systems, to the conceptual modelling stage of the database design process. Conceptual modelling produces a representative abstraction (schema) of the data requirements of an …

The applicability of aerodynamic models to tidal turbines.
For the tidal current power industry to progress, simple models for predicting the performance of tidal current turbines are needed. Currently the aerodynamic models developed for wind turbines are typically used to predict tidal turbine performance. There are a number of significant differences …

Applicability Of Continuum Fracture Mechanics In Atomistic Systems
<p>By quantitating the amplitude of the unbounded stress, the continuum fracture mechanics defines the stress intensity factor K to characterize the stress and displacement fields in the vicinity of the crack tip, thereby developing the relation between the stress singularity and surface energy …

Growth and applicability of radiation-responsive silica nanowires
Surface energetics play an important role in processes on the nanoscale. Nanowire growth via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism is no exception in this regard. Interfacial and line energies are found to impose some fundamental limits during three-phase nanowire growth and lead to formation of …

Applicability of WTO Law in the European Union
In April 1994, the ministers of more than a hundred governments signed the Final Act Embodying the Results of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations achieved after seven and a half years of negotiation. The Act comprises the Agreement Establishing the Multilateral Trade Organization …

Applicability of different emotional constructs in the hospitality industry
This paper investigates the area of emotional value by using the critical incident study method. Although many studies have investigated the importance of emotion in the hospitality industry, there has been a paucity of research that investigated what drivers or incidents make customers experience …

Applicability and limitations of transcriptomic pipelines in livestock species
… QTL pipeline (xQTL) in cattle, illustrating its applicability in identifying variants that impact feed efficiency through molecular mechanisms. In exploring the question of genetic loci contributing to gene regulation and complex traits, this first project accomplished two main goals. The first …

The Applicability of Values Clarification to Cardiac Patient Education
<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the applicability of the value clarifying approach as an additional educational method to assist the chronic heart patient to examine his life style, establish some priorities, and implement changes in his life style in light of his disease condition …

Applicability of Hydraulic Performance Graph for Unsteady Flow Routing
The applicability of the hydraulic performance graph (HPG ) for unsteady-flow routing is investigated herein. The HPG is a summary of backwater profiles in a channel reach in terms of discharge and water stages at its downstream and upstream ends. Traditionally, in hydraulic flow routing the …

Applicability of cosmic ray muon radiography to nuclear nonproliferation
Nuclear terrorism poses a real threat to the United States, particularly from non-state actors. Every day, more than thirty-thousand shipping containers arrive at United States ports. The contents of these steel vessels need to be scanned for illicit and hazardous materials in a timely fashion. …

Applicability of hybrid methods in engine control system design
The new control techniques of off-line model predictive control and level set methods have been applied to the challenges of engine management for diesel exhaust aftertreatment. Theoretical work has been supported by experiments carried out in a diesel engine test cell. A control relevant air-path …
